Functionally-tailored Oral Care Intervention for Community-dwelling Older Adults With Dementia and Their Caregivers

Participants receive a 4-week, hands-on, functionally-tailored intervention. The intervention will address topics including tooth brushing, denture care, inter-dental care, tongue care, and dry mouth care. There will be four sessions in total, with each intervention session lasting approximately 45 minutes.

Participants will receive a home-based, un-tailored oral care training. The training includes a tooth brushing and dental care demonstration, and information about oral diseases and dry mouth. This training will be 15 minutes in duration. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in the functionally tailored intervention following the end of this study.
